@hpierrejacques @DavidSacks @Jason Also becoming more and more scripted. Sad that they’re optimizing for shareable sound bites rather than respectful conversation amongst friends. Moving away from what made it great.

@hpierrejacques @DavidSacks @Jason Arguing over politics and polarizing viewpoints is about as west coast as you can get. It’s not fun or healthy.

@hpierrejacques @DavidSacks @Jason It’s painful.

@hpierrejacques @DavidSacks @Jason At this point just want Friedberg happy hour solo cast

@hpierrejacques @DavidSacks @Jason Polarisation in a conversational regime is often a result of influential rented arguments!

@hpierrejacques @DavidSacks @Jason I tend to agree here. Ironically @friedberg is becoming the star.

@hpierrejacques @DavidSacks @Jason This week was unlistenable. Jason has TDS.

@hpierrejacques @DavidSacks @Jason Friedberg is the man. At the All In summer conference (can’t remember what they called it) in a QnA they asked each person who their favorite was. Maybe 80% voted Friedberg. Numbers talk.

@hpierrejacques @DavidSacks @Jason Tune in to my podcast… Maybe you can get some alternate viewpoints when you’re making your way around the world.

@hpierrejacques @praneshbuilds @DavidSacks @Jason Interesting to see the reactions here. I was lambasted for saying it’s a good podcast, either way I think 108 was fantastic. It’s raw, this is how people talk. Not just the typical “so what in your life made you who you are” podcast we have 1 million of.

@hpierrejacques @DavidSacks @Jason How do you listen to any podcast with David Sacks as a diversity VC operator? You are aware of his history aren’t you? His book?

@hpierrejacques @DavidSacks @Jason I lost interest episodes again when I felt some of the opinions became very 'certain' about what to do, coming from people without even close to the level of information necessary to be so certain. This pertains to big geopolitical decisions. I still like it when they banter.

@hpierrejacques @DavidSacks @Jason also @friedberg is the only one with the balls to tell like it is when it comes to @elonmusk . @DavidSacks @Jason and @chamath are all scared. and then they talk about “intellectual honesty”. was a big fan but slowly losing interest. not a balanced view like it used to

@hpierrejacques @DavidSacks @Jason Enjoyed the most recent ep mostly for the note from Sacks on contraction next year: - expect to do 50% of new business as this year - logo churn will go up as cos go out of biz - spending and hiring will be way down And seems like the bestie beef is shifting 🥩

@hpierrejacques @DavidSacks @Jason Yeah I gave up on it, a cringe fest. Just @Jason and @DavidSacks bickering and endless “what about isms”. Sad, it was a fun show when it started.

@hpierrejacques @DavidSacks @Jason Henri listen to oddlots, David Rubenstain show, capital allocators, Alpha exchange, Be smart I mean too many good pods out there!

@hpierrejacques @DavidSacks @Jason I do think it would be better with less of a political section. I really like the tech and investing side of things. @JTLonsdale does a good job with his keep it all about positive developments in America.

@hpierrejacques @DavidSacks @Jason I agree. This has been a disappointing turn. It doesn’t feel like a battle, Jason often backs down to preserve his credibility as a moderator. Sacks is allowed to strawman every position that isn’t his own. I value hearing both sides but it shouldn’t be political diatribes.

@hpierrejacques @DavidSacks @Jason Check out FOUNDERS by David Senra; that’s my pick of 2022.

@hpierrejacques @DavidSacks @Jason Agree! Used to look forward to it each week but lately it just feels like I’m watching a twitter all hands with lots of grandstanding.
